By one historic ray, as has been set forth otherwise, the land of Egypt
symbolizes the Hiddekelic and Gihonic ages combined (see
Indications of
Genesis, Diagrams 16-30); while, by another ray, the Hiddekelic and
Gihonic ages, in their relationship to the land of Egypt, in turn
represent the second, third, fourth, and fifth creative days as Egypt.
But Messiah was begotten as the Son of God in the beginning of the
Euphratic age. When, therefore, in obedience to the word of the Lord,
"Out of Egypt have I called my son."
Messiah made his advent in the Euphratic age he sprang out of Egypt as
the fifth creative day into the sixth.

And so, also, when he made his advent in the Pisonic age he sprang out
of Egypt as the Gihonic age into the Pisonic that, in the Pisonic, he
might fulfill the special missions to which he was called; notably so in
his personalities as the Son of man, and as the Seed of woman. Special
missions pertaining to the Creative Days were fulfilled by the First
Person of the Holy Trinity; and, during the Euphratic, Hiddekelic, and
Gihonic ages, by the Third Person. Now, since the Three Persons of the
Trinity are equal it follows that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in
each Person bodily; of which indications will be given later on.

In continuation of the Egyptional ray, Messiah was first begotten as the
Son of man in the day of Abraham the patriarch as the Seed of Abraham
the patriarch. In the day of Jacob the patriarch, however, the children
of Israel went down into the land of Egypt, and among them Messiah,
possibly, through his reincarnation, in his personality as the Seed of
Hezron (see Ind. of Genesis, p. 376). When, therefore, the children of Israel came out of Egypt, Messiah
came with them, possibly in his personality as the Seed of Amminadab
(Hur), thus, by another historic ray, in literal fulfillment of the
mandate "Out of Egypt have I called my son."
The sequential ray now follows that the departure of Joseph the son of
Heli, together with Jesus the young child, and Mary his mother, into the
land of Egypt was due, in past that the narrative history thus involved
might be said "Out of Egypt have I called my
son" as covering the esoteric ray. The departure for Egypt
being accomplished by night also symbolizes the descent of Messiah into
the darkness of natural death, and into the blackness of absolute death;
both of which were fulfilled immediately subsequent to his crucifixion
as Jesus the Seed of the woman. Wherefore, after the three days and
three nights were fulfilled in this Egyptian darkness Messiah came forth
from the pit, also in fulfillment of command "Out of Egypt have I called my son;" Jesus, himself, having
said

"I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it
from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I
have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my
father."

Hence, this commandment comprehends all the
vitality of the saying "Out of Egypt have I
called my son." The absolute death and resurrection of
Messiah as the Godhead, and in his personalities as the Son of God, the
Son of man, and the Seed of woman, confirms triumph over his enemies: of
which the Dragon, called Satan, is chief, and, hence, of their sure
condemnation; the heavens, as an embodiment of revelation to the
ancients, whomsoever they may be, bearing witness of the same.

In furtherance of the advancements thus made the Equilateral
Triangle symbolizes the Three Persons of the Holy Trinity as conjoined
in One; their equality being manifested by the three equal angles and
the three equal sides thereof; while the fullness of the Godhead
dwelling in each Person is indicated in the symbol of the space
subtended by their respective angles.

Now, by reference to the Second Temple, Sirius (the Arcturus of Job) symbolizes the Third Person of the
Holy Trinity; Sol, the sun of our solar system, symbolizes the Second
Person; and Alcyone of the Pleiades symbolizes the First Person of the
Holy Trinity. But, in taking up the fullness of the Godhead in relation
to the Third Person it will be found that Sirius, the symbol of the
Third Person, is located in the beautiful constellation Canis Major.
Further observations of the heavens will show that Procyon, a star of
the first magnitude, is located in Canis Minor, thus, through the names,
showing a relationship between these two constellations as recognized by
those of old time. Now by constructing an equilateral triangle upon the
line connecting Sirius with Procyon it will be found that the vertex
falls upon the magnificent star Betelgeuse in the constellation of which
the Lord said to Job "canst thou loose the
bands of Orion?" These three great suns, therefore (see,
also, Rev. i. 11-16), in their relationship to this triangle, with its
subtending angles, indicate the fullness of the Godhead as dwelling in
the Third Person. Moreover, in relation to the constellation of Dogs
(see, also, Ps. xxii. 11-16, lix. 1-15; Phil. iii. 2)
it must be kept in view that as Sirius and Procyon are found in these
constellations so the Third Person was in the world, was in the midst of
his enemies during the test for the attainment of righteousness during
the first three ages of man, and was thus subject to
tribulation and temptation.

By the symbolism of the Second Temple, as already stated, Alcyone of the
Pleiades, or perhaps, the unseen Pleiad, represents the First Person of
the Holy Trinity, or, otherwise, the Father whom no man hath seen at any
time. Wherefore, upon the line from Betelgeuse to the Pleiads construct
another equilateral triangle, when it will be seen that the vertex
thereof falls upon one of a group of stars in the constellation Auriga
forming a species of crown whose gem is the magnificent Capella. It is
immediately over this gem that the star in question is found. Wherefore,
by the equilateral triangle thus brought to notice the fullness of the
Godhead dwelling within the First Person of the Holy Trinity is
indicated in the heavens in harmony with the fullness of the Third
Person as exemplified in the first, or as it may be termed, the Siraic
Triangle. As, therefore Alcyone, or rather the unseen Pleiad, stands for
the First Person of the Holy Trinity, and as Betelgeuse pertains to the
Third Person, so the star in Auriga becomes representative of Messiah
the Second Person of the Triune God, in whom, by the second equilateral
triangle, or, as it may be called, the Alcyonic Triangle, also dwells
all the fullness of the Godhead bodily in harmony with the record of
Paul as given in Col. ii. 8,9.

By reference to the Review of the
Holy Bible, pp. 134-139,
interpretations will be found that Elisha the prophet is Messiah the
Christ in his personality as the Seed of Jehoran king of Judah, and
hence, by the Melchizedician Priesthood, the son of Jehoshaphat even as
Jehoram is the son of Jehoshaphat. It will also be seen that the
forty-two little children slain by the she-bears symbolize forty-two
generations from David through Joseph the son of Heli, the husband of
Mary the Virgin-mother, to and including Messiah in his personality as
Jesus; and further, that the two bears, one shadows the epoch of the day
of Messiah as Elisha the son of man back to the day of David, and the
other from the day of Elisha as the Son of man to the day of Jesus as
the Seed of woman. These advancements the heavens also indicate and
confirm; yet, manifestly, through the wisdom of the one God in His
revelations to the ancients. As, therefore, the two bears represent two
epochs, retrospective and prospective, counting from the day of Elisha,
so, in harmony therewith, two notable constellations appear in the
heavens called respectively Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, otherwise, the
Great Bear and the Lesser Bear.

In taking up the hidden history of the Great Bear, Ursa Major, sometimes
called the Great Dipper, it will be found that a line drawn through
h,
f, the lower rim of the bowel thereof, will, if produced, cut the star
in Auriga that symbolized Messiah in the Alcyonic Triangle, thereby
indicating a relationship between the constellations of the Great Bear
and Auriga; and, hence, between the prophet Elisha and Messiah.

If, now, a line drawn through d, b, the two stars constituting the far
side of the bowl of Ursa Minor, sometimes called the Little Dipper, it
will, if produced, also cut the Messianic star in Auriga, thereby showing
a relationship between Ursa Minor - the Little Dipper - and Auriga, or,
as a second witness, between Elisha the prophet as the Son of man, and
Messiah as the Son of God.

In the Great Dipper f, e, two stars called the Pointers, serve, in a
general way, to locate the position of the North star - Polaris. But
should a line through them be produced it will strike through Ursa
Minor, and pierce a star of the lesser magnitude in Cepheus. This line
not only shows a relationship between the two Bears, but it interlinks
the history of the two, and, hence, that of Messiah as Elisha the Son of
man with the star in Cepheus. Wherefore, let it be called the Messianic
Star in Cepheus. And so, too, a line through b, a, the two stars
constituting the upper brim of the bowel of the Little Dipper - Ursa
Minor - will if produced also strike the Messianic Star in Cepheus,
thereby further showing a relationship between it and the history of
Messiah as Elisha the prophet (see, also, Deut. xviii. 18, 19).

“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto
thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them
all that I shall command him.”

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my
words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”

It will
be found that the Messianic star thus determined is one of a group
constituting a crown similar in shape with that of Auriga.
This crown,
however, reaches unto Draco, thereby indicating the prize for which
Messiah and the Dragon contend in the great Battle of Life. It will also
be found that the vertex of the equilateral triangle established on a
line connecting the two Messianic stars in Auriga and Cephens, will find
place in Ursa Major, by which Messiah becomes identified with, if not
identical with Elisha as the Son of man in this historic ray. Wherefore
let it be called the Messianic Triangle.

In continuation it will be found that, by the genealogy according to
St.
Matt. i. 1-17, as already indicated, Messiah was called in Jehoram, and
yet that he was a contemporary of Jehoshaphat King of Judah. Wherefore,
the indication is clear that Messiah had passed away as the Seed of
Jehoshaphat, he having been slain as the Son of man in his personality
as Naboth the Jezreelite. Wherefore, in his re-appearance as the Seed of
Jehoram he was manifest in the flesh as Elisha the son of Shaphat: that
is as the son, but not the Seed of Jehoshaphat.

In his genealogy as the Seed of Jehoram, Elisha is the seventh
generation from and including David; these generations, as already set
forth, covering the space of time or years indicated by one of the
shebears. But from David to Jesus the Christ inclusive there are
twenty-eight generations in the genealogy of Messiah (see St. Matt. i.
1-17). Consequently, there appears, 28 - 7 = 21 generations as covering
the space of time, or years, indicated by the second she-bear. The ratio
between the two epochs thus involved will be 21 ÷ 7 = 3. This ratio, it
must be kept in view, is in relation to the genealogy of Jesus the
Christ as given by St. Matthew, - not the genealogy of the
Virgin-mother, nor that of Joseph the son of Heli, but the genealogy of
Messiah the Christ in his personalities as the Son of God, as the Son of
man, and as the Seed of woman. In the genealogy of Joseph, however, as
given in St. Luke iii., 23 - 31, there are forty-two generations from
David to Jesus the Christ against the twenty-eight of Messiah.
Wherefore, there appears, as 28:42::7:10.5, or to the generations of
Joseph from David to Elisha. Consequently, 42 - 10.5 = 31.5 generations
from Elisha to Christ. The ratio between these values, as a matter of
course, not being independent, will be 31.5 ÷ 10.5 = 3, thus corresponding
with that obtained from the genealogy of Messiah.

By the chronology of the Scriptures, however, as derived by the present
writer, (Edward B. Latch) in the earlier stages of his work, David king of Judah was born
in the year 2876 of the Pisonic Age; and Joash king of Israel, who,
also, was a contemporary of the prophet Elisha, died in the year
3141 of
the Pisonic Age. Wherefore, 3141 -2876 = 265 years corresponding with the
seven generations of Messiah from David to Elisha. But Messiah as Jesus
the Christ was crucified in the year 3930 of this age, thereby coming
into his kingdom. Consequently, 3930 - 3141 = 789 years corresponding
with the twenty-one generations of Messiah from the day of his advent as
Elisha the Son of man to his advent as Jesus the Seed of woman.
Wherefore, the ratio between these two values will be
789 ÷ 265 = 2.97
thus corresponding almost exactly with that already obtained.

The relationship of the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, of the
Messianic Star in Cepheus, and Elisha as the Son of man, to the two
epochs from David to Jesus having been brought to notice, a further
relationship is manifest through the areas of the bowels of the Great
and Lesser Dippers - Ursa Major and Ursa Minor - when viewed as
superficies in the heavens. It will be found that these areas are to each
other as 28 is to 84. Consequently, the ratio between them is
84 ÷28 =
3, thus corresponding with the ratios already determined. Now, since
these two constellations are connected with the history of the Messianic
Star in Cepheus, so they, also, confirm the identity of Messiah with
Elisha the prophet as the Son of man manifest in the days of Jehoshaphat
and Jehoram, kings of Judah, and in those of Joash king of Israel.

Further, it has been determined by astronomy that e, f, the Pointers of
Ursa Major - the Great Dipper - are 5º apart. Wherefore, by using them
as a scale, it will be found that the mean width or diameter of the
bowel is 7.75º. Now, in harmony with what has gone before, since the
area of this bowel when considered as superficies, by one historic ray
represents the years from the day of Elisha the prophet unto the
crucifixion of Messiah as Jesus, so, by another historic ray, the mean
diameter as above determined may represent the same; while the
360º of
the circle may be considered a cycle representing the years from the
begetting of Messiah as the Son of God in the Euphratic age down to the
crucifixion of Jesus, yet as male line of computation. Wherefore, there
appears 360 ÷ 7.78 = 46.45; and
46.45 x 789 = 36,649 years from the
begetting of Messiah as the Son of God in the Euphratic age unto his
crucifixion as Jesus against the 10,588 + 10,919 + 11,224 + 3930 = 36,631
of
the Mosaic System (see Pyramid). It also will be found
that the mean depth of the bowel of the Little Dipper - Ursa Minor - is
3º. Wherefore, since the area of this bowel, when viewed as a
superficies, represents the years from the day of David king of Judah
down to the day of Elisha, so the mean depth of this bowel, in
distinction from the width or diameter of the greater bowel, may
indicate the years from the begetting of Messiah as the Son of God in
the Euphratic age down to his crucifixion as Jesus, female line of
computation. Consequently, from what has gone before,
360 ÷ 3 = 120; and
120 x 265 = 31,800 years for the epoch called for against the
1965 + 6772 + 9552 + 9568 + 3930 = 31,789 years of the Mosaic System. There now
follows, 31,800 + 3930 = 35,730 as the years of the Four Ages of Man from
the beginning of the Euphratic age to the end of the Pisonic, female
line of computation against the 35,717 of the Mosaic System. Also,
36.649 + 3930 = 40,579 years from the beginning of the Euphratic age to
the end of the Pisonic, male line of computation, against the
40,561 of
the Mosaic System.

From the foregoing, the ratio 3 between the several magnitudes brought
to notice is well established. Should, therefore, this ratio be
increased by the thousand-fold multiplication (see Duet. i. 10, 11)
there will appear 3 x 1000 = 3000, thereby corresponding with the ratio
between the Four Ages of Man and the Grand Epoch from the beginning of
the Creation to the end of the Pisonic age, and thereby comprehending
the inheritance promised Messiah in the day he was begotten as the Son
of God, or, as expressed in Duet. xi. 24,

"Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours:
from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates,
even unto the uttermost sea shall your cast be;"the
heavens, also, bearing witness to this effect.

It has been gathered that the mean diameter of the bowel of the Great
Dipper measure 7.75º; while the mean depth thereof is
4.161º. Wherefore,
there appears, 7.75º x 4.161º = 32.247 square degrees (sq.º) as an
expression for the area thereof when considered as a superficies. But it
has been determined that the ratio between the two Bears is
3.
Consequently 32.247 ÷ 3 = 10.749 sq.º as the area of the Lesser Bear -
Little Dipper. Wherefore, 32.427 ÷ 10.749 = 52.996 sq.º as the sum of
the two.

It has been also gathered through the pertainings of Elisha that the
areas of the two Dippers represent the Four Ages of Man. Wherefore, the
sequence is indicated that the surface of the sphere corresponding with
that of which the two Dippers is a part governing the ration between the
Four Ages and the Grand Epoch, and, to be general, governs every sphere
in relation to the 360º of its great circle; for
360º x 360º = 129,600
sqº as the area of a great square upon which a great unit of work is to
be performed. (See, also, the method of the great geographical ray
developed by Mr. Albert Ross Parson in his valuable work "New Light from the Great Pyramid.")
Of this rectangle the surface of the sphere projected thereon will be
41,252.4 sqº; whereby the ratio between the two magnitudes will be
129,600 ÷ 41,252.4 = 3.1416, thereby closely
approximating the ratios as already obtained; while, in harmony with
what has gone before 129,600 ÷ 42.996 = 3000 as the ratio between the
Four Ages and the Grand Epoch as sequentially implied.

By the Mosaic System, however, the ratio in relation to the female line
of computation has been more especially identified with the Four Ages
from the creation of the Euphratic race. Wherefore (see
Pyramid), 35,730 - 1965 = 33,765; and
33,765 x 3000 = 101,295,000 as
the years of the Grand Epoch from the beginning of the Creation to the
end of the Pisonic age against the 101,256,000 of the Mosaic System.
Also,
40,579 x 3000 = 121,737,000 as the years of the Grand Epoch from the
beginning of the Creation against the 121,683,000
of the Mosaic System. It may be stated here, in conjunction with the
chronology as thus given, that the height of Ursa Major represents the
years of the first three creative days combined, in harmony with the
symbolism of the Molten Sea of Soloman's Temple.

The identity of the star in Cepheus with Messiah as the Christ, and the
relationships of the Great and Lesser Bears therewith, having thus been
established, it will be found, upon inspecting the heavens, that the
head of Draco - the Dragon - is in close proximity thereto, thus
graphically indicating the bruising of the Serpent's head; while, in
turn, the body of the Serpent - Draco - coils around Ursa Minor thus
threatening its destruction, and also comes in contact with Ursa Major
in illustration of the great war between Messiah and the Dragon. The
depiction is perfect, while the Pole Star, as an all-seeing eye, calmly
watches the conflict resting in the sureness of the force-ordained
downfall of all that is hateful. Nor is this advancement without its
heavenly witness otherwise; for a line drawn through
g, h, the two stars
of the Great Dipper opposite the Pointers, if produced, will strike
Regulus the gem that graces the handle of the sickle in the Zodiacal sign
Leo. The constellation Leo brings to notice Messiah as the
"Lion of the tribe of Judah," not
only as the Son of God in the Euphratic Age, but also, in his
personality as Jesus the Christ in the Pisonic age; Jesus, after his
resurrection, having ascended toward the heaven as was received by a
cloud. To such a one the command was given (see Rev. xiv. 15, 16)

"Thrust in thy sickle, and reap, for the time
is come for thee to reap... and he that sat on the cloud thrust in his
sickle on earth; and earth was reaped."

May we know this is
true? Turn again to the heavens and behold the same Regulus with his
contemporaries Castor and Procyon guarding, as it were, the Praesepe -
the Manger - the prototypical symbol of Jesus established ages before
his coming as the Son of man, and as the Seed of woman.

Cancer, the Zodiacal sign in which
the Manger is located Mosaically, represents that part of the Euphratic
Age in which man of Adam's race was created, the constellation Leo Minor
indicating a relationship identified with man of Adam's race; while
Messiah was begotten as the Son of God in the beginning of this age. Now
in harmony with what has gone before, a line drawn from Regulus to the
Praesepe shows a relationship between the Second Person of the Holy
Trinity - the Lion of the Tribe of Judah - and the Manger; Messiah as a
man-child newly born in the Euphratic age having been caught up to the
throne of God, and, as Jesus the Son of the Virgin-Mother, having been
lain in a manger at the time he was brought forth in Judea. A line drawn
from Procyon to the Praesepe shows a relationship between the Third
Person of the Holy Trinity and the Manger, in harmony with the Siriac
Triangle, and with the ministrations of the Melchizedician priesthood;
while a line drawn from Castor to the Praesepe represents the
relationship between the First Person and the Manger, in harmony with
the mission of the First Person in the Creative Days.

These conditions are still further discernable by a comparison of the
three angles thus formed with those of the Triskele Constellation as
given in the Greater light, Vol. 1 No. 2, p. 22, in that they coincide
with each other, thus becoming two witnesses for the conditions
involved. In further support of these indications draw a line from
Regulus to Spica in the Zodiacal sign Virgo, when it will be found that
the vertex of the equilateral triangle constructed upon it will reach
into the Constellation Argo. This triangle brings to notice an historic
ray identified, in turn, with Messiah as the Second Person of the
Trinity, with Argo, and the Man of Adam's race in the Euphratic Age in
the Golden Age, the age of gold. Wherefore, the term golden pertains in
an especial manner to this age (see, also, Review of the Holy Bible, pp.
335-337; Ind. of Exodus, pp. 344-349).

Now, in continuation, the vertex of the equilateral triangle constructed
upon a line from Castor to Spica also fall to the constellation Argo.
But Castor is located in the Zodiacal sign Gemini; while by one historic
ray (see Melchizedician Chart) Gemini
pertains to the Fourth Creative Day, or the day in which the sun of the
physical world, was suspended as a source of life and light by Messiah
as the Sun of Righteousness. It must be kept in view that the First
Person of the Trinity was the special representative of the One God
during the Creative Days. Therefore
the great triangle just described places the First Person in the
Creative Days, and the Third Person as in the constellation Argo.

Wherefore, to take up a so-called mythological bearing, when Jason
sailed in the ship Argo to recover the Golden Fleece he would, by the
configuration of the heavens, and in harmony with what has been set
forth, encounter Hydra before reaching Colchis; and even then, before
accomplishing his object, the help of Medea - Virgo - would be needed.
These conditions are fully borne out by the symbolism of the heavens, as
manifested; for Michael as Jason, in the great aerial sea fought against
the Dragon - Hydra - assistance being rendered by the Virgin Medea -
through the Son of God brought forth as the man-child; the latter having
been caught up to the throne of God the Great Defender. The Son of God
is the good Shepherd; and the people of his pasture are his sheep.
Wherefore, when the people of the Euphratic Age - the sheep of the good
Shepherd's pasture, the Golden Fleece, dwelling in Colchis - fell from
their high estate they became prisoners under the Law, and, hence,
subjects of Death and the Dragon - Hydra and Draco, otherwise, Lucifer
and Satan. But through the fulfillments of the Third Person of the Holy
Trinity in his pertaining under the Law, this people, this Golden
Fleece, was brought away, and today is rejoicing in the heavens through
the assistance of the Virgin - mother - Virgo - in relation to the One
to whom these people were promised, and who later, in the Pisonic Age,
lay in a manger at Bethlehem of Judea, even as exemplified by the
heavenly symbols.

It will be found that, by the plottings of the heavens, Monoceros - the
Unicorn - is given place in the great triangle between Canis Major and
Canis Minor; between Castor and Argo; they further indicating the
pushing together of the ten thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of
Manasseh, the aggregation of the Son's inheritance, by the horns of
unicorns, by the might and
spirit of the Three Persons of the Holy Trinity.

Now, upon a line drawn from Vega to Arcturus - the Arcturus of modern
astronomy, not Sirius the Arcturus of Job - let an equilateral be
constructed, the vertex of which will fall in the Zodiacal sign
Sagittarius. Within this triangle there appears portions of the stellar
magnitudes Hercules, Ophiuchus, Sagittarius, Serpens, and the Northern
Crown. As, therefore, Messiah was begotten as the Son of God in the
Euphratic Age - the North (see Indications of Genesis, p. 45 - and was
proclaimed King (see Ps. ii, 6-9)), and as the Serpent thought to seize
his crown by making war against the higher Powers - the Holy Trinity,
see history of the Messianic Star in Cepheus - so the same is
graphically manifested by the stellar magnitudes now brought to notice;
for the Crown - the Northern Crown - seems almost to grace the Serpent's
head, but Hercules, as an arm of the great Ophiuchus, stands ready to
encircle the body of the upreared monster - the enemy yet ally of
Hydra - even as Samson did in connection with one of the pillars of the
Philistinian Temple. And so, also, with Sagittarius the Bowman, who, in
his mission of conquering and to conquer (see
Rev. vi, 1, 2), finds
place, as the right arm of Ophiuchus, ready to crush the Serpent as
Samson did to the other pillar of the Philistines' temple. In Ophiuchus,
therefore, behold the great field, in the midst of which stands one as
Samson who, with outstretched arms dashes the ambitious hopes of the
Evil-one, breaks his house (see constellation of the Serpent), and thus
slays its thousands of adherents; while Scorpio and Libra are in contact
with the conqueror thus indicating the bitterness of the war, and of the
actions to be weighed and adjudged. It will be seen, also, that Draco -
the Dragon - lies between Hercules and the Messianic Star in Cepheus,
thereby corresponding, in the matter of like occurrence, with the
smiting of Hydra by Hercules, with the history of Jason in his quest for
the recovery of the Golden Fleece in the latter part of the Euphratic or
Golden Age; Sagittarius, by one historic ray (see
Melchizedician Chart) also pertaining to this epoch.

By
another historic ray (see Messianic Chart) Sagittarius pertains to the second division in the Pisonic Age,
in which Messiah made his advent as the Living Bread through which Hydra
- Death - and Satan were, eventually overthrown. By the
Melchizedician Chart Messiah made his
advent as Jesus the Seed of woman in the 17th minor epoch of the Grand
Epoch as the month of August. By one ray of the Messianic Chart,
however, the 17th minor epoch is represented by the Zodiacal sign
Scorpio. In Scorpio, therefore, as the 17th minor epoch of the Grand
Epoch Messiah met his
enemies, encountered their scourgings, yet brought them law. Now, by
counting back nine minor epochs Messiah made his advent as the Son of
God in the constellation Leo; but, by another ray (see
Messianic Chart),
when considered as months, Jesus the Seed of woman becomes identified
with Leo as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, in harmony with the required
stand-points. The indications that Messiah was born of the Virgin-mother
in the month of August are further set forth in the heavens; for on the
nights of this month the Messianic Star in Auriga is seen to the
eastward, low down on the horizon, while to the westward Scorpio gleams
with its Antares as en evil watchful eye. Immediately above, as standing
over where the "young child was"
Vega appears, the Gem of Lyre upon which none but the angels can play,
and which, from its position, indicates the theme of their song,

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men."

From these advancements the 'child' that was caught up unto the throne
of God is brought again from thence through the lantern of the
incomparable dome that marks the glory of an August sky. Thus the
Infantic Star in the east - seen of wise men whatever the transient
astral exhibition may have been - and the Sinister Eye in the west -
prophets of good and evil - portend the buffetings and experiences of
the One begotten as Jesus in their midst; while in the south the unclean
swan and the eagles are gathered together, with Altair and his
coadjutors pointing to Vega the Alpha of Lyra, the effulgent star that
shone down upon the manger in Bethlehem of Judea. Nor is the
witness of the manger far away; for in Draco, the Point of Intersection
is found whose angles correspond with those of the Praesepe as already
set forth in this paper. It may be stated here that the cut of a
Bracteate of gold as it appears in the Viking Age, Vol. II, p. 343,- Du
Chaillu, by the Mosaic System, evidently places the star of the east -
the Messianic star in Auriga - in the zenith, and the constellation of
the Lyre in the west; for (see St. Matt. ii. 9) the star in the east "came and stood over where the young child was."

the Bracteate

Further inspection of this cut will show that within the figure of Lyre
seventeen small circles are given place. These circles, by the Mosaic
System, and in harmony with the Melchizedician Chart, indicate the
seventeen minor epochs of the Grand Epoch, and, hence, to the
seventeenth
minor epoch in which Messiah was begotten as Jesus the Seed of woman. It
does not follow, however, that the historic ray of the Bracteate, as
thus developed, is identical with that of Vega, but that it is in close
relationship thereto. It must be borne in mind that the term
"west" is significant of the
Pisonic Age. But, to return to the point of digression, in addition to
the wonderful manifestations set forth, it appears, that, further, by
the Messianic Chart, Virgo, Leo, Cancer and Gemini, pertain to the four
divisions of the Euphratic Age; while, by the heavens, Hydra - Lucifer,
Death - is in contact with these four zodiacal signs, thereby showing
the ruling, yet not triumph of the Destroying Cherub in the Euphratic
Age. Death, as a condition however, is likened to a two-edged sword, the two edges being significant of the
decease of the natural body, and of the absolute death of spirit. These
conditions are exemplified by the apportionment of Hydra to the Euphratic
Age, in that, during the first two divisions, the fiat of absolute
death was not in force; and in that through the entering in of the Law,
absolute death did become the prevailing principle during the third and
fourth divisions of this age.

In continuation, Taurus - the Bull - properly belongs to the Euphratic
age, yet by its apportionment to the Hiddekelic the overlap of the two
ages is indicated, and, also, the transmission of magnitudes from the
former into the latter, (see Review of the Holy Bible, pp. 23, 23, also
Indications of Genesis, pp 155-157). Now, by reference to the heavens,
it will be found that Cetus - the whale - is in contact with Taurus,
Aries, Pisces, and Aquarius. As, therefore, these Zodiacal signs are in
relation to the Euphratic, Hiddekelic, and Gihonic Ages, and as Messiah
in his personality as the Son of God was brought through these ages in
accord with the fulness dwelling within the Third Person of the Holy
Trinity, so, since these ages are represented in contact with the whale,
the esoteric strength of the Lord's saying,

"As Jonas was three days and nights in the whale's belly, so shall the
Son of man be three days and three in the heart of the Earth,"

becomes manifest in relation to the indwelling of Messiah during
the first three ages of man, as a repetition of a like occurrence (see,
also, Jonah ii. 1-10) even though the relation does take cognizance of
the death of Jesus in the Pisonic Age.

By further scanning the map of the heavens it will be seen that the
constellation Piscis Australis is in contact with Aquarius and
Capricornus, whereby the hidden history of Messiah is brought into the
Pisonic age, yet as overlapping the Gihonic. Wherefore, the sign of the
Two Fishes - Cetus and Piscis Australis - really connect the Hiddekelic
and Gihonic Ages from Taurus to Capricornus, or from the overlap of the
Euphratic and Hiddekelic ages to the overlap of the Gihonic and Pisonic
ages, or down the Deluge of Noah, the same being graphically manifested
in the sign of Pisces. Wherefore, from the Gihonic and Hiddekelic ages
as esoteric Egypt, and as exemplified through Cetus the whale, Messiah
sprang into the Pisonic age as represented by the Amphibion,
Capricornus, and by Piscis Australis, therein to fulfil his special
mission for the saving of nations; in full harmony with the declaration
"Out of Egypt have I called my son."

In Sagittarius, as already set forth, Messiah made his advent as the
Living Bread manifestly for the regeneration of his people, and for the
overthrow of his adversaries Lucifer and Satan - Hydra and Serpents -
and, in Scorpio, met the scourgings which ended in the defeat and
commendation; while in Libra, the constellation succeeding Scorpio, just
weights and just measures, were, are, and will be, meted out to all
hosts; for Libra, by the historic ray under consideration represents the
Judgmental Era, and pertains to the present or existing time.

To briefly sum up the forgoing, Sirius, according to the symbolism of
the Second Temple, represents the Third Person of the Holy Trinity;
Alcyone, or, perhaps, the unseen Pleiad, represents the First Person;
and Sol, the sun of our solar system, represents the Second Person of
the Trinity. Wherefore, the great equilateral triangle formed by
connecting Sirius, Betelgeuse, and Procyon, pertains, in an especial
manner, to the Third Person of the Trinity. The equilateral triangle
formed by connecting Pleiades, Betelgeuse, and a star of the fourth
magnitude in Auriga, pertains to the First Person of the Holy Trinity.
And the equilateral formed by connecting the star in Auriga with a star
of lesser magnitude in Cepheus, and with Ursa Major, pertains to the
Second Person of the Trinity. These triangles have been called Siraic,
Alcyonic, and Messianic, respectively; and it will be found they are
conjoined as in sequential order. But for that the unfoldment is made it
will be perceived that the Alcyonic might be the first step of the
sequence; that the Siriac is the second; and that the Messianic is the
third step; but the symbolism of the Triskele Constellation favors the
order as given.

The Messianic Triangle, however, as already set forth, is conjoined to
the constellation of the Great Bear - Ursa Major. Wherefore, by this
contiguity Ursa Major takes up, and indicates in sequential order,
history of Messiah by right lines radiating, as it were, from it. This
history is further indicated by its area, and by the degrees of space it
occupies. Of the indices thus brought to notice one points to the
Messianic Star in Cepheus; one points to Alcyonic star in Auriga; and
one points to Regulus as a great Messianic sun in Leo; while the areas,
and degrees, thereof, by relationship, show that Messiah and Elisha the
prophet are identical, that the genealogy of Messiah as given by St.
Matthew is correct, and distinct from that of the Virgin-mother, and
from that of Joseph the son of Heli; further, also, that from it the
longevity of the Four Ages of Man can be determined, and through the
Four Ages, by ratio,, the age of the world. In the matter of
constellations, otherwise, the symbolism of Ursa Major, Canis Major,
Canis Minor, Draco, Hydra, Hercules, Monoceros, Argo, Opinchus, Serpens,
the Northern Crown, is indicated in sequential harmony with the
Scriptures; while the signs of the Zodiac add their quota to the themes
that prove the direct handiwork of the Most High, and the inspirational
Source of the Bible in the sky, the oldest, with little or no question,
that has been accorded the intellectual world.

Diagram 1

Now, it has been stated that the Messianic Triangle was developed third
in order beginning with Siraic and continuing through the Alcyonic. It
will be observed (see Diagram 1) that the Messianic Triangle
contains the Messianic (Alcyonic) Star in Auriga, and that in Cepheus;
also the Constellations Draco and the Great and Lesser Bears, through
the history of which Messiah as the Son of God, as the Son of man, and
as the Seed of woman, together with that of the Adversary has been
brought to notice in this paper. Messiah's history is the history of the
world, and is the foundation of all the divinely inspired manuscripts
and works of art that constitutes the holy bibles of all peoples,
whether angels or men. The great Bible in the sky as manifested by the
Messianic Triangle has its counterpart or transformation in the great
Pyramid of Egypt; the general chronology and ethnology of which was
published by the present writer some time ago (see
Pyramid).
But now, through the co-relationship existing between the constellations
and the Pyramid, the astronomical features thereof are brought to
notice, and, with them, the origin and object of the pyramid systems of
the world.

Wherefore, from this point of view, let the Messianic Triangle in the sky
(equilateral) represent a pyramid (see
Diagram 1), and, as such, be
used as an exemplar or prototype for determining the origin and meaning
of the one specially brought to notice, viz., that of Cheops, otherwise
the great Pyramid of Egypt. From this point of departure it will be
observed (see Diagram 1) that a line drawn through
f, e of Ursa Major -
the Big Dipper - as produced, strikes the Messianic star in Cepheus,
making an angle of 25º with the base of the Triangle, thus harmonizing
with the 26º, 18'
of the passageway to the King's Chamber as constructed
in the Great Pyramid of Cheops (see Diagram 2), indicating
thereby a relationship between the bowl of the Big Dipper and the King's
Chamber. But the descending passageway through which entrance into the
Pyramid is attained is 26º,
41' (see Diagram 2). Let the
descending passageway be drawn in and shown in the Messianic Triangle
as a tangible base for comparison between the two great correlatives.

Diagram 2

Now, by reference to Diagram 1, it will be found, also, that a line
drawn through a, c of the Little Dipper - Ursa Minor - if produced, will
strike Vega - Alpha Lyra - a star of first magnitude. This line makes an
angle of 88º with the base of the Messianic Triangle. As, therefore, the
descending passageway in the Great Pyramid is 26º,
41', and as it is a
base for the comparison of magnitudes pertaining to the two great
co-relatives, so 88º+26º, 41' = 114º,
41' as the angle through which
Vega must pass or through which it may have passed, that it be visible
from the descending passageway. But, by the precession of the Equinoxes,
50" corresponds with the deviation of the sun from some given point in
one year. Consequently, there appears, 114º, 31' x 60 x 60 = 412860; and
412860 ÷ 50 = 8257 as the years occupied by Vega in traveling through the
above angle. Now, by the
Indications of Genesis, pp. 113, 114, the Great Pyramid was built in
the overlap of the Hiddekelic and Gihonic Ages - esoteric Egypt - or
prior to the year B.C. 12098. The Pisonic race, however, was created in
the year B.C. 3897. Wherefore, there follows,
12098 - 3897 = 8201 as the
years from the overlap of the Gihonic and Pisonic ages to the overlap of
the Gihonic and Hiddekelic, thereby corresponding with the
8257 called
for above, and which harmonizes with the Mosaic date in which the
Pyramid was built; and, further, that Alpha Lyra - Vega - was in the
Pyramid co-ordination at or about the year B.C. 12098.

In connection with Vega there also appears, 360º - 114º41' = 245º19'; and
245º19' x 60 x 60 = 883140"; while
883140 ÷ 50 = 17,662 years, thus
corresponding with the 7860 + 9568 = 17,429 years of the Pisonic and
Gihonic ages combined, or time from the end of the Pisonic age instead
of the beginning thereof to the end of the Hiddekelic, and,
consequently, as a second witness, with the year B.C. 12098 in its
relationship with the Vega co-ordination as already set forth.

By further reference to Diagram 1 it will be seen that the line through
h, f of the Great Dipper, when produced, strikes the
Messianic star in
Auriga, and that the line g, e, strikes the magnificent Capella, also in
Auriga. Now, by comparison, it will be found that these lines diverge at
the same angle as the descending passageway into the Pyramid diverges
from the north air channel from the King's Chamber. It will be found,
further (Diagram 1) that the angle intercepted by the lines of Vega and
Capella measures 140º, and, hence, that Capella is that many degrees
beyond Vega. Wherefore, by revolving the line of Capella until it shall
coincide with the passageway of descent into the Pyramid, the line
of the Messianic star in Auriga will coincide with the north air channel
from the King's Chamber. From these indications, therefore, Capella will
be visible from the descending passageway, and the Messianic star will be
visible from the King's Chamber northward through the air channel; thus
giving two witnesses in support of a second co-ordination. Wherefore, by
proceeding as before there appears, 140º x 60 x 60 = 504,000", and
504,000 ÷ 50 = 10,080 years as the lapse of time between the pyramid
co-ordination of Vega and that of Capella. Vega, however, was in the
co-ordination about the year B.C. 12098. Consequently
10080 + 12098 =
22178 as the year B.C. in which Capella was in the co-ordination; that
is, in the overlap of the Euphratic and Hiddekelic ages.

There further appears,
360° -
140° = 220°; and 220° x 60 + 60 = 792,000; while
792000 ÷ 50 = 15840
years. Wherefore, in harmony with the corresponding computation for
Vega, 15840 + 12098 = 27,938 years, thereby harmonizing with the
7860 +
9568 + 9552 = 26,980 years of the Mosaic System from the end of the
Pisonic Age back to the end of the Euphratic. From these advancements
there still further appears, 27,938 – 3963 = 23,975 as the year B.C. in
its relationship to the overlap of the Euphratic and Hiddekelic ages as
against the 23,017 of the Mosaic System, and, hence, as by a second
witness that Capella really was in the Pyramid co-ordination in the
overlap of the last two mentioned ages; that is, had the Great Pyramid
been built at that time. Since, however, the Hiddekelic race built the
Pyramid in the overlap of the Hiddekelic and Gihonic ages, and since
they also lived in the overlap of the Euphratics, so, as an historical
episode identified with their own time and race, they were justified in
incorporating the Capella co-ordination in their great monument in the
midst of esoteric Egypt.

Now by comparing the angle formed by the lines
e, f and
g, h of the Great
Dipper with that formed by the intersection of the ascending passageway
to the King’s Chamber and the south air channel from the King’s Chamber
(see Diagrams 1, 2) they will be found to coincide, each measuring about
20°, and, consequently, that the south air channel is in co-relationship
with Regulus, the Alpha of the constellation Leo. But Regulus is
83°
beyond Capella. Wherefore, there follows, 83° + 60 x 60 = 29880; and
29880 ÷ 50 = 5976 years beyond the Pyramid cp-ordination of Capella.
Consequently, 5976 + 23975 = 29,951 years B.C., thus corresponding with
the year B.C. 29789 in which, by the Mosaic System, the Euphratic race
was created. By Diagram 2, however, the angle Regulus – the south air
channel – makes with the descending passageway in its relation to the
Capella co-ordination is 107°. Wherefore,
107° x 60 x 60 = 385200”; and
385200” ÷ 50 = 7704 years. Consequently, taking the lesser figure
obtained for the Capella co-ordination, there appears
7704 + 22178 =
29892 years corresponding with the date of the creation of the Euphratic
race in harmony with the Messianic Triangle and the Mosaic System. From
these advancements Regulus would, seemingly, be visible through the
south air channel in the Euphratic Age, but when the angle of
20° is
considered there appears, 20° x 60 x 60 + 72000”; and
72000” ÷ 50 = 1440
years. These years correspond with the 1324 Pyramid years of the overlap
of the Hiddekelic and Gihonic Ages, and with the 1367 of the Mosaic
System. Wherefore, the indications are the Regulus does appear in the
Capella co-ordination, but was visible from the King’s Chamber through
the south air channel at the time Vega was visible in the north from the
descending passageway leading into the Pyramid. Hence, the Vega
co-ordination is supported by a second witness even as Capella in its
co-ordination was supported by the Messianic star in Auriga.

Also, by reference to Diagram 2, it will be found
that the line of the south air channel, if produced, will strike into
the Queens’s Chamber situated in the overlap of the Hiddekelic and
Gihonic Ages as representative of the sepulchre of the Euphratic race
through the transmission of their blood and characteristics (see Diagram
2); and that the angle formed by the intersection of the south air
channel and the vertical passing through the Queen’s Chamber measures
138°. Wherefore, 138° + 60 x 60 = 496800”; while
496800 ÷ 50 = 9736
years, thereby connecting the overlap of the Hiddekelic and Gihonic Ages
with the overlap of the Euphratic and Hiddekelic, against the
9552 of
the Mosaic System, and, hence, in harmony with the advancement that the
Queen’s Chamber represents the sepulchre of the Euphratic race.

Moreover, by comparison with Diagrams 1, 2, it will
be found that the position of Polaris corresponds, in one historic ray,
with one of the upper corners of the great gallery leading into the
King’s Chamber; the eight assizes of stone therein symbolizing the first
eight minor epochs of the Grand Epoch, or the eight minor epochs prior
to the creation of the Euphratic race. From this point of view the
distance of Polaris to the base of Ursa Minor corresponds with the
distance from the corner of the great gallery down through the passage
of abrupt descent until it joins the descending slope that leads to the
Subterrean Chamber, or, esoterically, from the beginning of the Creation
unto the end of the Pisonic Age as a witness independent of the one
through the King’s Chamber. The curve of the passage of abrupt descent
is derived from the curve of the Little Dipper – Ursa Minor – being in
relationship with the Creative Days as well as with the Four Ages of
Man. It will be found that the horizontal distance from Polaris to the
midst of Ursa Minor corresponds with the horizontal distance from the
corner of the great gallery to the midst of the Queen’s Chamber that
represent the sepulchre of the Euphratic race. All these indications
still further substantiate the date of the building of the Great
Pyramid.

Further, by reference to the Messianic Triangle,
Diagram 1, it will be seen that Ursa Minor – the Little Dipper –
corresponds with the subterranean chamber of the Great Pyramid,
Diagram
2, and, also, with the Queen’s Chamber because of the corresponding
angles made by the intersection of the general base line of the Pyramid,
and of the Euphratic passageway, with the King’s Chamber. The King’s
Chamber is represented in Diagram 1 by Ursa Major. But (see Pyramid) the Subterranean Chamber, also, shadows the
sepulchre of the whole Four Ages of Man, and, hence, includes that of
the Euphratic race. By the Mosaic System, however, the Euphratic race
was destroyed by earthquake and volcanic eruption. As, therefore, by one
historic ray, the apex of the Great Pyramid is in relation to this
catastrophe, so the irregular condition of the apex symbolizes the same;
while, with little doubt, the massiveness of the great structure was, in
a measure, introduced to safeguard it against future convulsions of the
kind.

As further comparison of Diagrams 1, 2 with show
that the south side of the Great Pyramid in in line with the Messianic
star in Auriga, even as the slant side of the Messianic Triangle is in
line with the same. But the angles of the Pyramid are obtained from the
triangle as follows:

Plot the magnificent Capella
in its required position (see Diagram 1). Now, with the distance from
Capella to the Messianic star increase the base of the Messianic
Triangle both northward and southward. Join the new base line with the
Messianic star when the angles thus formed will coincide with the angles
of the Pyramid. But, by simply measuring Diagrams 1, 2, the height of
the Triangle is 4 inches; the height of the Pyramid proper is
3.25 inches; while the base of the Triangle as enlarged is
6.375 inches.
Wherefore, by proportion, as 4:3.25::6.375:5.179, which is, as inches,
correspond with the base of the Pyramid proper, that is, within the
casing, thereby confirming the origin of the shape of the Pyramid.
Moreover, by producing the descending passageway of the Triangle through
the exterior of the Great Pyramid as thus determined (see Diagram 1), it
will be found, by using the scale of Diagram 2, that the distance from
the Lesser Bear in its relationship to the subterranean Sepulchre
measures 330 feet as against the
347 of the Great Pyramid. It must be
kept in view that Capella and this Messianic star are in the same
co-ordination, thereby interlinking their history in this ray of light.

The Capella and Vega co-ordination pertain more
especially to the Euphratic, Hiddekelic, and Gihonic ages as under the
special dispensation of the Law, they being governed in the Euphratic
Age by the Messianic star in Auriga; possibly the esoteric Apollos of
St. Paul. In the Pisonic Age, however, a new departure is inaugurated
according to which righteousness, and hence life, is attained only
through Messiah in his sublime personality as the Word of the One God.
Wherefore, the Word of the One God in relation to the Pisonic Age is
specially manifested in the Messianic Triangle by the Messianic star in
the constellation Cepheus; possibly the esoteric Cephas of St. Paul.

As already set forth, the line
b a, of the
Lesser Bear, produced, strikes the Messianic star in Cepheus; and
the line d b
of the Lesser Bear, produced, strikes the Messianic star in Auriga.
Wherefore, it will be found that these two lines intersect nearly at
right angles, thereby indicating the establishment of the
dispensation through the Word of the One God in the beginning of the
Pisonic Age (see Gen. iii. 1-16), yet as
conjoined to the ruling of the Law or First Covenant – note the true
right angle connecting apex with base – that entered in the
Euphratic Age.

Indeed the heavens are not without their
witness to this effect; the Law having been made to a thousand
generations. Wherefore, (see Diagram 1)
it will be found that the angle formed by connecting Capella and the
Messianic star in Auriga with Polaris measures a trifle less than
14°. Consequently, proceeding as before, there appears,
14 x 60 x 60
= 50400; and 50400 ÷ 50 = 1008 years, which, as generations,
correspond with the 1000 during which the First Covenant or Law
continues in force for the government of all hosts, even including
Messiah in his manifestation as the Word of the One God. It will be
found, however, that the angle of 14° thus brought to notice
corresponds with that plotted on the astronomical chart (see
Elements of Astronomy, - Selim H. Peabody, M.A.), but when
sighted through a jointed vector it will measure only
9 degrees. And
so, also, the angle from Polaris subtending Ursa Major when sighted
through the jointed vector will measure 27°, but as it appears upon
the chart it measures 42°. Consequently, there arises, as
9:14::27:42, and, hence,
9:14:i:1.55+ or to the ratio between the
two points of view. This distinction must be carefully noted in
these papers.

In harmony with proceeding computations there
now appears (see Diagram 1),
180° + 90°
= 270° from the Messianic star in Auriga to the Messianic star in
Cepheus. Wherefore, 270 x 60 x 60 = 972000; and
972000 ÷ 50 = 19440
years, thereby corresponding with the 9552 + 9568 = 19,120 Mosaic
years from the end of the Euphratic Age to the beginning of the
Pisonic, or to the advent of Messiah as the Desire (see
Gen. iii. 1-16). But Messiah, in harmony with the esoteric
meaning of the above reference to Genesis, made his advent as the
Son of man in the day of Abraham the patriarch. Abraham was born
about the year 1965 of the Pisonic Age. As, therefore, the
passageway leading into the Pyramid descends at an angle of
26°.41’
so there appears 26°41’ x 60 x 60 = 96060”; and
96060 ÷ 50 = 1921
years, thus approximating the 1965 of the Mosaic System as indicated
above. Now, however, by concentrating the Messianic rays there
appears (1) the intersection of the
line from Regulus in the constellation Leo through
h, g, of the
Great Dipper with the line from the Messianic star in Auriga through
b, d, of the
Little Dipper: whereby the pyramid co-ordination of Vega and Capella
are brought to notice in connection with this historic ray. (2)
the angle of 4°, 30’ formed by drawing a line from the Point of
Intersection through the Messianic star in Cepheus until it meets
o, a star in
the forefoot of the chair – throne – of Mazzaroth (Cassiopeia),
and another from the same point until it meets
p’ in the seat of the throne. It may be well to
observe here, that, as viewed in the heavens, a right line passing
through the diagonal o, m,
of Cassiopeia (Mazzaroth) strikes
Capella; and that a right line drawn through the diagonal
l, p, of
Cassiopeia passes through the second star in the handle of the
Little Dipper and strikes I,
the second star in the handle of the Great Dipper.

When, however, these diagonals are thus plotted
the resulting figure described about them is an elongated
parallelogram, whereas it should more nearly approximate a square.
It will be found, however by taking the forefoot,
o, of the Chair as
a constant; that is, as a fixed point determined by the intersection
of lines from the Point of Intersection through the Messianic star
in Cepheus, and from Capella through the diagonal
o, m, that the
diagonal l, p, constructed in line with
s, the Messianic star in
Cepheus, will, by cutting the diagonal from Capella, produce a
figure corresponding with that as simply viewed in the sky (see
Diagram 1). Owing to the great distance of Cassiopeia (Mazzaroth)
from the earth it probably is impossible to detect any
foreshortening of its plane. Wherefore, from the dissimilar
conditions thus brought to notice, the indication arises that the
constellation under immediate consideration lies beyond the Galaxy,
and that the perturbation witnessed is due to the refraction of the
rays of light from the former to the latter. It may also be noted
that the apparent displacement of the two views is about
23°,
thereby memorializing or bringing to notice the catastrophe of the
4th
Creative Day, and, consequently, the sun’s apparent path from the
equator to either tropic. Since, however, in the Capella
co-ordination the line through h, f, of the Great Dipper to the
Messianic star in Auriga makes an angle of 4°, 30’ with the line
g,
e, of the Great Dipper to Capella (see, also, the 4°, 35’ variation
between the orientation of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, and the
Great Pyramid of Saccara, - Kenrick), and as they are visible in the
co-ordination from the descending passageway, and from the north air
channel, so like conditions will appear in a pyramid co-ordination
of the Messianic star in Cepheus and the star p’ in the throne of
Cassiopeia (Mazzaroth); the heavens being viewed as upon a
photographic plane. When, however, the Messianic star shall be
visible through the north air channel of the king’s chamber it will
have passed through 26° 41’ + 4° 30’ = 31 11’. Consequently,
31° 11’ x
60 x 60 = 112,260”; and 112260 ÷ 50 = 2241 years; thus corresponding
with the Mosaic year B.C. 2241; at which time the Deluge of Noah
became as accomplished fact, and at which time Messiah made his
advent as the Living Bread for the replenishment of the world. The
date B.C. 2241, therefore, also carries with it the year in which
Messiah made his advent as Jesus the Seed of Woman.

By one historic ray Mazzaroth (Cassiopeia) is
identified with the catastrophe of the 4th creative day.
This event lead to the supersedure of the sun of the physical world
by Messiah as the Sun of Righteousness. Consequently, this link in
the life of Christ also becomes identified with the Messianic
Triangle, and, hence, with the Great Pyramid. Moreover, in harmony
with the concentration of Messianic rays thus brought to notice, at
an angle of 90° laid out on the line from the Point of Intersection
as established in the foregoing (see Diagram 1) connecting Mazzaroth
(Cassiopeia) and the Messianic star in Cepheus will represent the
field of the First Person of the Holy Trinity (see Gr. Light, Vol.
1, No. 2); the angle 157° between the right angle and the line
connecting the Point of Intersection with Regulus in Leo will
represent the field of the Second Person; and the
113° that remain
will represent the field of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, as
subtended from the Point of Intersection, between the lines to
Regulus and to the Messianic star in Cepheus. These angles are in
harmony with those of the Praesepe already given, and with the
Triskele Constellation. In connection with the Point of Intersection
as thus brought to notice it is a remarkable coincidence, if nothing
more, that the constellation in which it appears adjoins Hercules,
the stellar magnitude towards which the solar system is said to be
moving.

In further relation to Mazzaroth (Cassiopeia) it will be found that
the four stars l, m, o, p, constituting the throne proper is similar
in shape to the bowels of the Great and Lesser Dipper – Ursa Major
and Ursa Minor – and, therefore, as with the two Dippers, finds it
counterpart in one of the three chambers established in the Great
Pyramid. Wherefore, in support of this advancement, the angle as
formed by joining the King, Queen and Subterranean, chambers
measures 145°; while, in harmony therewith, the angle formed in the
heavens by joining g, b, of the two Bears with
o of Mazzaroth
(Cassiopeia) also measures
145°. Further, as the distance of the
Subterranean chamber from the Queen’s chamber is twice that of the
Queen’s from the King’s, so the distance from o in Mazzaroth
(Cassiopeia) to b the Lesser Bear is twice the distance from
b of
the Lesser to g of the Great Bear.

Thus, by these witnesses the origin of the three chambers as they
appear in the Pyramid of Cheops is further substantiated. Moreover,
should the line joining the King’s and Queen’s chambers be produced
the distance from this line to the extreme south end of the
subterranean passageway will measure 195 feet thus corresponding
with the 195 feet (Vyse and Perring)
the King’s chamber is said to be placed beyond the centre of the
Pyramid; this same measurement also appearing in the Cassiopeian
combination as a further witness of the heavenly exemplar.

It has been shown in the Pyramid Pamphlet, pp
20-22, that the several chambers of the Great Pyramid symbolize the
graveyards and, hence, years of the Four Ages of Man, both severally
and combined. As, therefore, the Pyramid was derived from its great
prototype in the sky, so, in harmony therewith, the cube of the
diagonal l, p,
of Mazzaroth (Cassiopeia) will
represent the years of the Hiddekelic age, and also, the years of
the Gihonic, the two being esoterically conjoined, each of which
measures 17 feet by
17 feet. The cube of the diagonal
a, d of the
Lesser Bear, in harmony with what has gone before, represents the
years of the Euphratic age; and the cube of the diagonal
e, h of the
Great Bear represents the years of the Four ages combined. The
diagonal of Mazzaroth (Cassiopeia) is
5.6°; the diagonal of the Lesser Bear is
5°; and the diagonal of the
Great Bear is 8.5°. Wherefore,
5.63 = 175.6; 53
= 125; and 8.53 = 614.12. But the years of the
Pisonic Age are included in the total represented by the Great Bear.
Since, however, the years of the Four Ages combined are
33752,
Mosaic System, and the years of the Pisonic are
7860, so there
follows by proportion, as 33752:7860::614.12:143 or to the symbolic
value of the Pisonic Age, in terms corresponding with the others.
From these computations there now follows: 175.6 + 175.6 + 125 + 143
= 619.2. As the symbolic value of the Four Ages as against the
614.12 derived from the diagonal of the Great Bear.

From the positions thus set forth the
subterranean chamber finds its special exemplar in the Great Dipper;
the Queen’s chamber finds its exemplar in the Little Dipper; and the
King’s chamber finds its exemplar in the chair or throne of
Mazzaroth (Cassiopeia) whatever the
relationship between the two Dippers and the King’s and Queen’s
chambers may otherwise be; a multiplication of historic rays
pertaining to any one set of symbols being necessary owing to the
great extent and variety of that which is to be set forth, but every
historic ray must follow its own rigid law of sequence as
independent of, yet harmonious with, all other rays.

Now, since the Messianic star in Auriga was in
the co-ordination in the overlap of the Euphratic and Hiddekelic
ages as seen through the north air channel, it follows that when
viewed in line with the slant side of the Pyramid it cannot be thus
seen in the overlap brought to notice. Moreover, the two lines of
observation diverge, thereby still further removing the standpoint
of this historic ray; and, in addition, it must be considered that
the Pyramid, seemingly, is stationery while the stars of heaven
revolve; which is a convenient method of comparison. Consequently,
the line of vision thus brought to notice is in relation to history
connected with, but not, of necessity, directly identified with the
immediate date of any particular co-ordination.

From the stand-point that the Capella
co-ordination occurred in or about the time of the creation of the
Hiddekelic race, viz., the Mosaic year B.C. 23,017, and that the
precession of the Equinoxes covers 25,827
years, then the next
co-ordination of Capella will take place in the year
A.D. 2810; that
is, 25,827 – 23,017 = 2810; which year corresponds with the year
A.D. 2853 of the Mosaic Chronology, at or about which time the
creature world is freed from their oppressors; the Pyramid having
been erected as a great altar of witness because of the oppressors.
Moreover, the Lord said in Isa. Xix. 19-20:

“In that
day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of
Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.

“And it
shall be for a sign and a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land
of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the
oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and
he shall deliver them”

The great one thus indicated, both by the
Mosaic and Pyramid chronology, is Messiah who comes at or about this
time to deliver the remnant of his people, and to reign with them
upon earth – greater earth – for a thousand years; his star being
visible at the time through the air channel leading from the King’s
Chamber. But Messiah’s star, in its relationship to the slant side
of the Pyramid, reverts, by its angle of 9°, to events preceding
this advent of Messiah by over six hundred years (see
Diagram 1); for 9 x 60 x 60 = 32400; and
32400 ÷ 50 = 648,
which, as years, correspond with the era following the fullness of
transgression, in which the oppressors are judged, as against the
2820 – 2133 = 687 of the Mosaic System (see
Pyramid Pamphlet, p. 6).

The indication has been advanced that, by one
historic ray, the height of Ursa Major represented the years of the
first three creative days combined, and the height of Ursa Minor
represented the years of the last three creative days combined.
Wherefore, in harmony therewith (see Diagram 1),
the distance e, g
of Ursa Major symbolizes the years of the first creative day; and
the distance f, g,
symbolizes the years of the second creative day; and the distance
represented by the ordinate normal to the line g, k, symbolizes the years of the
third creative day. And so, also, the ordinates normal to the line
i, b, of Ursa
Minor symbolizes the 4th,
5th, and
6th
creative days respectively, counting from i. As, therefore, in Ursa Major
these distances are as 30,
30, and 8, respectively; so they are
proportional to the 30,640,000;
29,308,000; and 7,993,000 years of
the first three creative days, Mosaic System. And so, also, in Ursa
Minor the distances are as the 9,325,000; 13,322,000; and
10,629,000
years of the last three creative days, Mosaic System.

Thus from its great prototype in the sky - the Bible of the angels, the
Bible absolutely written by the finger of God - the Great Pyramid of
Egypt is constructed, and, hence, the history of Messiah and the world
as manifest in its prototype is also identified with its wonderful
transformation into the Bible of men. Nor have the builders of the
Pyramid left these histories without a symbol or witness to this effect;
for as the Messianic Triangle, which represents the presence and work of
Messiah, stands directly before the Great Pyramid in its relation to the
worlds as given in Diagram 1, so the builders of the Great Pyramid of
Egypt placed in front of their structure a great sphinx with the head of
a man and the body of a lion, which, now, clearly represents Messiah the
Lion of the tribe of Judah; and which is in clear harmony with the words
of Jacob the patriarch:

"Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise; thy hand
shall be in the neck of thine enemies; they father's children
shall bow down before thee.

"Judah is a lion's whelp; from the prey, my son, thou art gone
up; he stopped down, he crouched as a lion, and as an old lion; who
shall rouse him up?...

"And unto him shall the gathering of the people be."

Hence, the establishment and solution of the Messianic Triangle, as set
forth in the forgoing, establishes the origin of the Great Pyramid, and
solves the riddle which, for ages, has enshrouded the
Egyptian Sphinx;
the latter being an earthy prototype conjoined to the Great Pyramid as
a witness from God to man of the fixedness of his purpose for the
eternal casting down of oppression.

Wherefore, in support of these advancements
Messiah was crowned king in the day he was begotten as the Son of
God in the beginning of the Euphratic Age, and, by his pertaining to
the Euphratic Age, he became the Lion of the Tribe of Judah the
Lion’s Whelp called for in Jacob’s blessing of Judah (see
Messianic chart in Mosaic System and Macrocosmic Cross). By
this kingly crown, (see frontispiece)
the great Sphinx with the head of a man, and the body of a lion,
will also be representative of Messiah, in harmony with the language
of the Sacred Writings. Now, according to Egyptologists, the body of
the Sphinx is about 140 feet in length, the paws extending
50 feet
beyond the body, thus making the total space – length – occupied
about 190 feet. The height is from
62 to 70 feet according to the
authorities. Wherefore, by reference to Cepheus (see
Diagram 1), it will be found that the band
v, w, of the
crown in which the Messianic star appears, measures about
135 feet,
thereby harmonizing with the 140 feet length of the body of the
Sphinx. The height n, t,
of the crown measure 70 feet, thus corresponding with the
62 – 70
feet height of the Sphinx; while
s, u, the total length of the crown measures
about 180 feet, thus corresponding with the
190 of the Sphinx as
couchant. Since, therefore, the King’s crown fits the Sphinx, so the
identicalness of Messiah and the Sphinx becomes well marked in this
historic ray. Moreover, it will be perceived that
s, the Messianic
star in Cepheus is a gem common to the crown and to the Messianic
Triangle, whereby the identicalness of the two magnitudes is still
further manifested.

It has been stated that the Messianic star in
Auriga was one of a group constituting a crown similar to that in
Cepheus. Wherefore, by making this constellation to correspond with
scale as used in Cepheus, it will be found that the band thereof
measures about 135 feet, thus corresponding with the band in
Cepheus, and harmonizing with the 140 feet length of the body of the
Sphinx. The total length of the crown in Auriga measures about
185
feet; thereby harmonizing with the 180 feet length of the crown in
Cepheus, and 140 + 50 = 190 feet, total length of the Sphinx. But
the height of the crown in Auriga measures about
110 feet; thereby
corresponding with the 62 + 50 =112 feet height of the Sphinx as,
in his majesty, he stood upon his feet in the day of his coronation.

Moreover, it will be found that the Messianic
star in Auriga, as with the Messianic star in Cepheus, is a gem
common to the Aurigian crown and the Messianic Triangle. Thus two
sublime witnesses are brought forward to give evidence of the
identicalness of Messiah with the Sphinx. As couchant, however, the
paw of the Sphinx as in the crown of Cepheus, is directly over the
head of Draco – the Dragon – whereby the bruising of the Serpent’s
head is clearly indicated in harmony with these advancements made in
the earlier portion of this paper; but, as he stands erect, the
length of the Sphinx as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah becomes a
unit of measure, or a key, for indicating other history of Messiah.
Among these historic rays the Lion couchant is sublimely indicated
by the 190 feet between the right angle pertaining to the First
Person of the Holy Trinity in the Point of Intersection and the eye
in the head of the Dragon. Sketch the Monarch and his foe in their
respective places and the tableau is complete, - then, one spring,
one fierce cry as when a lion roareth (see
Rev. x. 3, also configuration of right hand side of head-dress,
Diagram 3) and the battle is upon them. But
“he shall not lie
down until he eat of the prey and drink of the blood of the slain,”Num. xxiii. 24. Man, in this battle, is as a centaur who tramples
the Dragon under his horse-hoofs; but Messiah, like unto St. George
is armed with a great spear – Death – with which to smite his great
enemy, the Dragon.

The 190 feet of the chord i, b, in Ursa Minor further
indicates the Sphinx as Messiah, and as the Lion of the Tribe of
Judah, identifying them, through the history of Ursa Minor, with
Elisha the prophet as the Son of man as previously set forth.
Messiah, however, is the Redeemer as well as the Battle-ax.
Wherefore, in the semblance of the great Sphinx, he can stand upon
the ledge, as it were, that marks the base line of the Pyramid in
its reach beyond the mystic Triangle which thus becomes symbolic of
a fifth of his own Pyramid, added as earnest of redemption, (see
Diagram 1).

But, (see
Diagram 3) Messiah as the Sphinx dwells within the Messianic
Triangle, filling the space thereof as none other can fill it. It may be
well to add that the photograph (see Sphinx page)
of the Sphinx upon which the Messianic Triangle is drawn was brought
from Egypt by the present writer (Edward B. Latch;
EBL)
thirty years ago, (as of 1860), and,
strange as it may seem, its size corresponds exactly with the dimensions
of the Triangle as developed by the present writer (EBL)
from the sky in conformity with the (Circumpolar
Map of Elements of Astronomy, - Peabody), and in conformity with
the Pyramid, as it appears in the Pyramid Pamphlet, and as reproduced in
this paper (see Diagram 2). The
correspondence of these magnitudes, in their exactitude, having been
reached wholly independent of each other, becomes really and truly
startling from a metaphysical point of view, - But, to continue,
inspection of Diagram 3 will show that the space occupied by the head of
the Sphinx corresponds, in general shape, with the crown in Cepheus, and
the crown in Auriga. As, therefore, the relationship between these
crowns and the Sphinx have been set forth, so, now, in harmony
therewith, it will be found, by using the scale of Diagram 2, that as
the height of the standing Sphinx in Auriga is to the extreme length
thereof, so is the height of the head thereof in Diagram 3 to the base
line of the Messianic Triangle, or to the legitimate angle of the
headdress as recovered. Since, however, the top of the head of the
Sphinx has been left unfinished, or else has wasted away by exposure to
the elements, so the height thereof is unknown. Wherefore, from the
forgoing, there appears:

As 110:185::x:660

X = 392

The value thus determined is simple the
proportionate value of the height of the head of the Sphinx as restored.
The restoration or building in of the missing portion becomes of as
great moment, from the esoteric point of view, as the building in of the
unfinished portion of Aladdin’s Palace was to the value of the materials
required; this great value serving to identify the Sphinx with Messiah
as the Lion of the tribe of Judah (see, also,
Messianic Chart, Mos. Sys. & Macrocosmic Cross). Should, now, the
Messianic Triangle be produced, and the whole body of the Sphinx be
depicted therein as a sequential manifestation, then it will be seen
that ample space would be enclosed wherein Cassiopeia (Mazzaroth),
and the Great and Lesser Bears could appear in harmony with the general
construction of the three chambers of the Great Pyramid of Egypt, thus
further substantiating the identicalness of the Sphinx with Messiah,
and, also, of the prototypical origin of this Pyramid. In connection
with this marvelous manifestation of the Messiah it must be considered
that as a work of art contemporaneous with the building of the Pyramid,
the Sphinx, as a semblance of Messiah, embodies the highest type of man
as he existed in the year B.C. 12,098, and, hence, not only of this
period, but of the Hiddekelic race as it existed in the overlap of the
Hiddekelic and Euphratic Ages, or in the year B.C. 23,000; the
Hiddekels, who built the Pyramid, having been brought forth in this
overlap, and, consequently, witnessed the destruction of the Euphratic
race. The sequence is manifest, because of this overlap, that the
Euphratics were as perfect, physically, in the day they were brought
forth – B.C. 29,789 – as the Hiddekels, indications also being given in
an American earthwork in Sciota Valley, Ohio, that the Euphratic race
was, proportionally, the same as man of today.

Now, in continuation of Messianic pertainings (see
Diagram 2), Messiah as the Sphinx fills the passage of abrupt
descent that marks the way to the dreadful pit of death, he thus
becoming the bearer of burdens men should call their own. Again, as the
Sun of righteousness he fills the chord in the arc from
i to a in the Lesser
Bear therein to show his supersedure of the sun upon the forth creative
day, and his continuance as such until time shall be no more. The noble
crown God gave his Son fits well the Sphinx; the silent witness of the
depths historic world encloses. The 140 feet length of the Sphinx as
thus identified with the history of the world finds its counterpart in
the great cube described about the Second Temple (Zerubbabel’s),
in that it comprehends the perfect labors of Messiah, and in that each
as every side thereof measures 140 cubits, thereby indicating the Sphinx
on an enlarged scale, as being identified with Messiah. Wherefore, the
Bible in the sky – the Bible of the Angles; the Great Pyramid of Egypt –
the Bible of man in the midst of the Four Ages; and the Sacred Writings
of the prophets – the Holy Bible of today, are sequentially brought to
notice in their respective harmonies as emanating from the One God to
His people; to them, from Him who is unchangeable, all-wise, and the
embodiment of absolute righteousness.

As, therefore, the building and paraphernalia of the
Tabernacle of the Congregation were revealed unto Moses, as the
architecture and appointments of Soloman's Temple were revealed to David
king of Judah; and as the sublime Temple of Zerubbabel, with its choice
fittings and embellishments, was revealed unto Ezekiel, so the same
Mastermind revealed unto the people of the Hiddekelic Age, through their
prophets, the plans and details of the Great Pyramid that, in harmony
with the Bible in the sky, they should build it for a witness that the
Lord is God, that he will smite the oppressor, and that he will bring
back his people from their captivity to Death.
